A writer inspired by nature and human nature

Get ready to share your story

“So much more than a contest…“

Lois W. Stern announces the opening of Tales2Inspire’s sixth year—with a great little contest for those with an inspiring story to share. But it is so much more than a contest, as winning authors get tons of publicity to help them on their paths to discovery.Free to enter—NO FEES involved.

Stories must be true, with one or more relevant photos submitted to enhance the impact of the story. All details posted at: www.tales2inspire.com/contest, so please refer to this link before you begin.

And since a picture is worth 10,000 words, while you’re there, grab a F*R*E*E e-book sampler of inspiring stories written by previous winners, and now published in one of the six Tales2Inspire® collections.

So glad you were able to download the Tales2Inspire sampler, Annette. Enjoy the stories and hope you have an inspiring story to enter into this contest/project. So keep “walking through the Tales2Inspire website” and enjoy your travels.

I’m going to think about this. It’s hard for me to think of my stuff as inspirational, but apparently some people think some of it is … so maybe I’ll give it a whirl. If I can think of something appropriate.

Bette, you are always a joy to work with and I thank you ever so much for taking the time to let your many followers know about Tales2Inspire. Some day I think we are destined to meet in person, but I find it interesting how people sometimes connect and know one another without ever having face to face contact. You are one of those people. Thank you for being my friend!

Thank you, Lois. It’s always a pleasure to have the opportunity to feature your posts on my blog. The promotional opportunities and sage marketing advice you offer writers is fantastic. I’ve had the opportunity to connect with several writers, enjoy some outstanding stories and make new friends through Tales2Inspire. Thanks again, dear friend! 🙂 ❤

The thing is, Bette, we pretty much have the same philosophy – it’s all about “Authors Helping Authors”. Most often what goes around, comes around. As a child I was taught: “If I’m not for myself, who am I? If I’m only for myself, what am I? If not now, when?” I often think about that, and suspect you do too. Always a pleasure to work with you!

Thank you so much, Stevie, for helping to spread the word. It is always a pleasure to welcome both aspiring and seasoned authors into our Tales2Inspire family. The circle keeps growing and the stories are amazing.

Thanks so much for sharing, Cindy. It’s good to have so many friends within the author community, starting with dear Bette.Doesn’t look like this sharing is going to end any time soon. I am so grateful!

Keep those cogs spinning, KentuckyGal. Can’t wait to see what you come up with! So glad you were able to download the Kindle sampler without a hitch as I always worry that the form might not work as it should.
Cheers,
Lois

IF YOU HAD DIFFICULTY DOWNLOADING YOUR COPY OF THE TALES2INSPIRE SAMPLER, PLEASE GO TO http://www.tales2Inspire.com/gift TO TRY AGAIN, AS THE LINK IS NOW UPDATED. The timing was bad, (as Amazon had just moved the Tales2Inspire Sampler to a new spot), but the result was good (as it is now placed on the page with all the other Tales2Inspire books.) SO SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE!

See, this is what happens when I get behind blogging–I miss something great. Fortunately for me, I have a couple stories I can submit (The Taste of Fear and A Worm Tale) and the deadline has been extended. I’ll be sharing this post as well.
